As per tradition, the request for higher taxes on gaming arrives to increase the funds necessary for the Financial Maneuver. Senator Franco Zaffini has found the solution. “Health is certainly sick” and now more than ever it needs oxygen. This is why the Meloni Government has paid attention and included the financing of the NHS among the priorities of the next budget, provided however that the legacy left by previous governments, which have produced horizontal cuts to healthcare to an unfortunate extent, is so heavy that it is necessary to intervene with extraordinary measures – declared the Senator of Fratelli D'Italia Franco Zaffini, president of the Health and Work Commission of Palazzo Madama - who then added "To revive the Health System, new forms of financing will have to be found also through a specific tax that can secure our system over the course of 5/10 years of public health. A theme, that of the defunding of healthcare, which starts from afar, first with Mario Monti's government in which the spending review season brought about a cut in healthcare spending of almost 7 billion until 2015, then with Renzi's guillotine And with you. An austerity policy that in 10 years has stolen 37 billion euros, bringing the NHS deep into the red. Finding new investments will mean saving not only the system but also the right to health” - concluded Zaffini.
The proposal by Zaffini and Co is contained in a document signed by 12 majority senators, to «a reorganization of the regulation of overall revenue from gaming collection activities which, in particular, achieves an increase in concession fees, especially for online games, based on the volumes of gaming and betting collected".
